Renault Espace Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is an essential part of the exhaust system in your Renault Espace. It reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases into less harmful substances before they leave the exhaust. This helps your vehicle meet environmental regulations and improves air quality.

Renault Espace catalytic converters vary depending on model generation (Espace II, III, IV), engine type (diesel or petrol), Euro emission standard (from Euro 2 to Euro 5), and equipment like DPF or OBD systems. Most converters are ceramic with lengths between 450 mm and 950 mm, designed specifically to fit engines such as 2.0 dCi M9R, 3.0 dCi P9X, or petrol engines like 2.0 16v.

Specifications differ by generation and engine, here are some common characteristics:

• Material: High-quality ceramic monoliths inside stainless steel INOX 409 shells
• Length: Between 450 mm and 950 mm depending on the model
• Weight: Ranges from 3.4 to 5.7 kg
• Features: Equipped with FAP (diesel particulate filter), OBD sensors, and certified with ECE/CE marks
• Compliance: Meets Euro 2 to Euro 5 standards based on vehicle age and model

These converters ensure effective exhaust treatment, pollution reduction, and vehicle compliance with environmental laws.

Compatibility depends on your vehicle’s manufacturing year, engine type, and emission standard. To check the exact fit, you should:

• Provide the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the supplier
• Verify engine code such as M9R, P9X, or J7T
• Check if your vehicle requires a DPF-equipped converter or a standard model
• Confirm Euro emission standard compliance (Euro 4 or 5 for newer models)

Correct installation and sensor positioning are critical for optimal performance.

They contain a monolith impregnated with precious metals which help in converting toxic exhaust gases. These metals are expensive and essential for the catalytic process. Proper functioning catalytic converters maintain vehicle emission standards and protect the environment.

Pricing varies depending on the model, engine, and equipment, with typical prices around 500 € for diesel models with FAP and OBD systems. Prices often reflect the high-quality materials, certification, and performance standards. For exact pricing, consult authorized suppliers or specialists.

Keep in mind our catalytic converters come with a 3-year warranty covering up to 100,000 km.

• Example: Espace IV 2.0 dCi M9R catalytic converter approx. 502 €
• Includes high-grade ceramic monolith and stainless steel casing
• Guaranteed compliance with Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards

Investing in a quality catalytic converter ensures durability and regulatory compliance.

When replacing your catalytic converter, take these factors into account:

• Confirm the exact engine model and emission standard for proper fitment
• Ensure the replacement part is certified (ECE/CE certified) for environmental compliance
• Check if your vehicle uses DPF technology and requires a compatible catalytic converter
• Professional installation is advised to guarantee correct sensor positioning and avoid leaks
• Consider warranty coverage for peace of mind (our products come with a 3-year warranty)

Proper maintenance and choosing the right part will maintain your car’s power and reduce exhaust emissions effectively.

The catalytic converter is part of a complex exhaust system that includes the manifold, oxygen sensors, and particulate filters (DPF). Together, they:

• Transform harmful pollutants like CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons into less harmful gases
• Work with oxygen sensors to monitor exhaust gases and adjust engine combustion
• Use DPF to capture and reduce particulate matter emitted by diesel engines
• Help maintain the overall performance and power output of the vehicle

This integrated system is crucial for meeting emission policies and protecting air quality while ensuring vehicle efficiency.

Choosing the right catalytic converter ensures that this system operates harmoniously and effectively.
